The Original Filing reported the voting results at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 11, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, as required by SEC regulations, the Company’s determination of the frequency of future executive compensation advisory votes.
